Cambirds is an unmoderated discussion group on Cambridgeshire birds and birding which is independent of the Cambridgeshire Bird Club. You do not need to be a member of the Club to participate in this forum, but you will need a Google account.

Please Note:A number of previously notable species, including Red Kite and Common Buzzard, are now seen frequently in the county. Reports of these have become too numerous to be routinely included here. Records of all species should still be sent to the County Recorder, Louise Bacon. Please follow the guidelines on the CBC webpage:http://www.cambridgebirdclub.org.uk/records.html
